While we work on some larger changes that aren't quite ready yet, here's snapshot 22w05a which contains a small squishing (that's a word, right?) of bugs. 

Happy mining!

Changes in 22w05a

• A change in 22w03a that re-arranged Badlands biome layouts has been reverted to avoid causing generation changes and chunk borders. This change will be re-introduced later.
